PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, aren't there ANY med. mal. attorneys
that take cases that are more about PAIN AND SUFFERING FOR
TWO YEARS, as opposed to LIFE LONG issues (i.e. loss of
limb, etc.) WHAT ABOUT ME??? WHAT about LOSING my JOB, my
"LIFE" as I knew it?? I was "ignored" post (R) ankle tendon
reconstruction, when I returned to surgeon SIX months later
and told her "I can't TOUCH the incision, I can't weight
bear still, I can't even lay on the right side because I
can't take the pressure on my ankle. She "dismisses" me, I
go to Pain Mgmt, HE MISDIAGNOSES me, puts a SPINAL CORD
STIMULATOR in (THE most TRAUMATIC surgery EVER!!!), I
EVENTUALLY find a GOOD doctor, he diagnoses in FIFTEEN
minutes what the other TWO missed, I had a "trapped" nerve,
NEVER needed SCS. Had THIRD surgery, nerve was released
(yeah), then had FOURTH surgery to remove SCS; however, it
CAN'T be totally removed because leads are scarred over in
my spine. NOW I'm faced with LIFE LONG issues of varying
nature: treatments I'll NEVER be able to get for back pain
because my spine has been "compromised" (per Chiropracter),
I can NEVER get an MRI (NOT good for someone who suffers
debilitating Migraines), plus the obvious pain in the a$%
issues of security systems and NEVER being able to go
anywhere without the card that says I have metal in my back
and finally, WHO KNOWS what long term issues I MAY face due
to the leads?????? I almost lost my MIND from the pain. .
that doesn't COUNT??? My income is now a JOKE!! How about
that?? My co pays for scripts is off the charts, never mind
$500/month for COBRA, how about that??? Doesn't ANY of this
warrant a CASE??????? Please. . .SOMEONE . . help me!!!!
